Here is my entry for this week’s challenge at 100 Word Stories Podcast. The theme was cereal.

Cereal?

Police Detective Johnson read this week’s crime report:

On Tuesday, as a Kellogg’s truck pulled up to the dock of a grocery store, it exploded into flames that shot one hundred feet into the air.
On Wednesday, it was a Fruity Pebbles truck that exploded across town at another grocery store.
On Thursday, a Cheerios truck was ambushed and totally destroyed.
On Friday, a not so lucky, Lucky Charms truck was the subject of a bombing.
At the scene of each crime a spoon emblem and “United” had been drawn.

Yup, they defiantly had another cereal killer on the loose.

Stranded, Part 12
Launch Director Haroldson pushed his secretary’s slim body off his, wrapped a towel around himself, while turning up the sound on the TV. He heard the announcer speak of substandard workmanship and materials as being the main causes to the Phoenix’s demise. All of which, where traced back to the Chinese manufacturing plants that had won the rights to building the spacecraft’s landing module.

Well, that was nothing new, he thought, but as everyone knew, the current administration had made it taboo to criticize the Chinese in order to gain their support and their money for the mission to Mars.

Hidy Ho Good Neighbors,

Here’s my submission for this week’s 100 Word Stories Podcast challenge: Zombies

Bizroc and his wife walked along the tunnel with the satisfaction of full stomachs for the first time in many months. Like every worship day, they had joined their neighbors, marching like zombies, silently down the tunnel toward the worship hall.

They continued to march, getting closer to the meeting hall, becoming increasingly aware that something was different today.

Maybe different wasn’t the correct word, they were in for something special, special and profound, from the sounds of the choir.

Bizroc wondered if it pertained to the earthling, as he and his wife had found so sweet and delicious.

Here’s my entry for the 100 Word Stories Podcast’s weekly challenge #102, Steamer Trunk.

Stranded, Part 10
Bizroc happily scurried into the kitchen, amazed at the good luck of his hunting mere minutes ago.

The earthling had been so easily confused; Bizroc had hardly appeared when the earthling froze in his tracks, unable to move.

Then, it had been so easy, no thick armored skin like any of the local animals, one swipe of his fangs and he had enough meat for both him and his wife.

While he thought of his good luck, Bizroc put the large chuck of meat into the Steamer Trunk to let it hydrate and cook, they would be eating good tonight.
